The Button Dept. : Midnight Sparkle
Back in 2013, my friend Paul of Smash Salvage asked me if I would be interested in checking out some boxes of vintage buttons he had just bought. I was curious and when I went by his shop, I was pretty overwhelmed to see over 30 large moving boxes filled with smaller boxes of buttons. As I peeked under a few lids, I gasped to see beautiful coloured glass buttons and some of the most unusual and fun plastic buttons I had ever seen. I knew that if I bought that lot of vintage buttons from Paul, I would NEVER have to worry about sourcing buttons for the workroom ever again. The Button Dept. was born!

A Festive Stitch Night in Sprucedale!
We're hosting a special Stitch Night on Tuesday December 3 from 5-8pm at the workroom in Sprucedale! Join us for some gifty (or personal) making time, holiday shopping and treats!
Stitch Night is a great opportunity to finish off projects, meet up with old friend, make new ones and share a little show and tell. The shop will also be open during stitch night for any supplies and holiday shopping.
